My advise to Eskom is
1 consumption shifting should be prioritized -getting households to install remote switch to use off- peak capacity for geysers. this is most effective , how otherwise are you going to save /shift 2400 watts per household of peak capacity ? and (ATM) it is a win-win (you should know why I say this ).
2 It is much cheaper & quicker than alternatives like solar geysers,.......
3 It is a huge task - 1 ~2 million households need to participate to solve the crisis , earlier we start the better...
4 As soon as possible,while urging the industry to be as energy efficient as possible, mining industry should get 100 % power capacity (not 90 %) - We are a mining nation , the output of mining industry paint the picture of our economy. eg - if the Rand weakens Eskom will have to pay more for new plants too ,etc.......
